Overview

• Larsson confirmed he turned down a lucrative late-window approach from Al-Ittihad, saying he wanted to keep playing in Europe and that his mother opposed a Saudi move.
• Spanish outlets report Real Madrid scouts have been tracking the 21-year-old, with the closed window shifting attention to potential winter interest rather than any immediate transfer.
• The Sweden international is a regular starter under contract until 2029, with a Transfermarkt valuation near €40 million and prior reporting of a springtime price point around €60 million.
• Eintracht has doubled down on patient squad-building under Markus Krösche, using funds from Hugo Ekitiké’s sale to sign targeted reinforcements such as Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Doan.
• Frankfurt opened the season with three wins in three matches as Larsson grows into a holding role alongside Farès Chaibi, and he cited Champions League football as a key reason to stay.
